I think this was my first RapidShare download, but it worked for me. In
case it matters, I'm running XP and Firefox browser.
I clicked the link which opened the page to get the file. There were two
boxes. On the left was what I assume would be the sign-up version. On
the right was a box with a Slow download button. I clicked that and the
countdown delay started. At the end of the delay a big green button
opened on the left, which I assume would have led me to another sign-up,
but to the right was a plain Download Now button. I clicked that and the
download started.
Got it. No sign-up or providing information. Easy to miss the proper
don't-ask-me-questions sequence, but it worked fine clicking the right
buttons and waiting.
Just wanted to add a confirmation that, with the help provided in this
thread, I got it with only a delay imposed. I tried to go back to see
the details of what was on the first screen, but I now get a message
that I must wait for 15 minutes to elapse. So what I wrote here about
the process is from memory.

James, I do not see a slow download button or the file name. I assume I
have to give them name and email before I see anything that I can use.
I am still using IE6 and ignoring people who want me to upgrade to the
new, advertiser-friendly IE8. The web was always supposed to be backward
compatible, but the prices paid for user information are changing that.
If that's what I'm up against, then I'll live without it. Not that my
buying "habits" would do them any good, as I run away from ads with
dancing baloney (blinking, repeating, or adverdramas).
I'd like to hear from anyone who has made it available as a plain old
document for download.

You don't need to, click the slow download button at wait about 40 sec.

I guess the title might just about say it all:-)
This is another generous donation from Rob Kimberley who has made
available a copy of the 1987 seventh printing of the Datum Inc. Handbook
of
Time
Code Formats.
The handbook includes descriptions and signal details of IRIG, NASA, and
other time code formats as well as information on the WWV, WWVH, and WWVB,
US
Standard Time Broadcasts.
It's a great source of information and available now from......

As always, please feel free to distribute/upload this in as many
directions
as possible.
